First, the lights in the bedroom came back on. Ricky Norwood then told the group they’d done a “great take”. And then came a message from Big Brother.

The celebrities were told: “So, housemates. Just listen to Big Brother again, and Big Brother will just say to you that tomorrow is a really, really big day for all of you, and it’s going to start quite early and it’s going to end very late at night.

“So what Big Brother would suggest is that you all wash your teeth, wash… wash… wash your bodies whatever you need to get done. Have any last cigarettes you want to have. And then call it a night relatively quickly.”

We don’t know what came next, because the sound was then pulled. Awks.
